“At 58 years old, which suggests I might decide later on, who knows. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. Fortunately, I don’t have to do that. I'll simply watch what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, however, dining out with the team having a nice chat, I appreciate that. Success was frequent thus frequently great spirits at the club. Remaining with me is Van Dijk's laughter ringing in my ears to illustrate.”

Commending Arne Slot

The team has suffered a string of losses across various tournaments following significant transfers, yet he dismissed the suggestion that it might signal the start of a downward turn.

The manager expressed deep feeling on the loss of Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and the effect at the club. The Portugal international was killed in a road accident alongside his brother in July.

“Can you substitute such an individual? It goes beyond his footballing ability, it's his character. I struggle to conceive the dressing room absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. A devastating blow for all the boys too. Not a single person might employ it as an excuse yet it's the reality. Being in that space where he was omnipresent. Handling this individually is not easy. Overwhelming.”
